Economy Minister Pier Carlo
Padoan said Tuesday that there is not much spare cash kicking
around in the public coffers for the 2018 budget law even though
the Italian economy is growing faster than expected.
"There are very few resources, given the budget limits,"
Padoan said.
"GDP has improved, but not to such a degree as to be able to
loosen (fiscal policy) in a significant way".
He said the battle against rampant youth unemployment would
be one area that money would be found for.
"Young employment is one of the very few areas that will be
attacked within the current framework of public finances,"
Padoan said.
